Quilting on Pink Lemonade and Winners

I've been doing some quilting, but moving along rather slowly. I usually do my quilting in the evening when we watch tv for an hour or two. last night I wasn't feeling well so I went directly to bed. Hopefully tonight I can get more stitches put in.
I did a mix of techniques, which you cannot see in the photo.

So I put my Photoshop skills to use! Don't laugh too hard! The original antique quilt was tied and not quilted at all. I think the ties made it darling, so I added them in cotton DMC thread at the intersections. You can see that by the asterisks. The quilting is the black lines. I didn't think it needed too much as it is a simple pattern and a simple quilt.
I kept that playful bit when I added the pink binding cut on the bias. I wouldn't usually cut it that way for a small quilt but I really wanted the spiral effect. I think it works!
I'm thinking about the first of February I'll add Mr Linky so we can have a lemonade party. I love seeing everyone's version! If you do not have a blog send me your photo and I'll add it.

Congrats to all your winners, Lori. Your little Pink Lemonade quilt has inspired me to hand quilt this one. I have just finished stitching up the corner blocks, so all the blocks are made, but I think that is as far as I will get tonight. Hopefully on Monday I will get the top to flimsy stage. I like the idea of the ties with the quilting. We'll see what I actually end up doing. : ) Thanks for a very fun QAL. I'm glad I joined in--it was my first.

Just got back after 3 days away and am catching up on all my blogs. Imagine my surprise when I see my name on your blog as a winner of the small B & W quilt. How lucky am I. Thank you so much for your generous give away and I love how Pink Lemonade has turned out also. xo

I just want to thank you for doing the Pink Lemonade quilt along. I love little quilts but always put them off to do "more important quits" anyway I finished putting the binding on my PL yesterday and I love it so much! Thanks for sharing the pattern and the inspiration!

So much temptation in blogland - everyone is following your QAL! Yesterday I did take a peek at my stash and had planned to give in to the temptation. Then I had a phone call and some visitors, so I'm still attempting to resist!

Congratulations to the lucky winners!!!Lori, I love the way you finished Pink Lemonade, nice binding too! I thought I would get it longarm quilted, but you have sort of changed my thinking about it, ummmm, we'll see!!!Hope you are feeling better!!

I'm thinking about the quilting and binding too. I got quite a bit done over the weekend - more than planned. Just missing the corners now to finish the top. Love your binding - I was thinking of stripes too, but I think I need something to tone mine down a little.

Hope to get time to work on mine today...it is sitting on the mat next to the sewing machine...waiting patiently! I had to finish a shop model first, now I can work on this darling little quilt...thanks for the instructions!!
